One of my gals made this for Thanksgiving and it was the bomb. Who doesn’t love bacon?!
We are going to make a pecan pie but instead of using butter we are going to use bacon grease!
Ingredients
9 inch pie crust homemade or store-bought
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons bacon grease
4 tablespoons Makers Mark Bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup pecan halves
4-6 strips bacon cooked crispy and crumbled

We are going to make a pecan pie but instead of using butter we are going to use bacon grease!
Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons bacon grease
4 tablespoons Makers Mark Bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup pecan halves
4-6 strips bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a pie plate with the uncooked pie crust. Carefully fit the crust to the pan and trim off any excess crust hanging over the end. Decorate the edge of the pie if desired. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom and sides of the crust. Partially bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and corn syrup until smooth.
- Add the bacon grease, bourbon, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until combined and smooth.
- Place half of the pecans into the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle 1/2 of the bacon over the nuts. Repeat the nut & bacon layers. Pour the pie filling into the crust.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. If the crust begins to brown too much, place some foil or a pie crust protector over the crust. The pie is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean (a little goo is fine).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. The pie will set up a little more as it cools.
- Drizzle the top of the pie with salted caramel.
- Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.
